Ginger House Museum Hotel

very uniquely funky accommodation, loaded with a plethora of highly aesthetic antique (or, at least, antique-looking) artifacts/artworks/curiosities/etc. excellent location in the heart of jew town. spacious/stylish rooms containing some of the same type of artful pieces that u can view in their massive more-than-20-room store/warehouse/showroom adjacent to the hotel ... called "heritage arts" & under same ownership. the food was quite tasty, very generous in amnt, sophisticated/varied & carefully prepared. definitely worth the splurge! [note: rooms were advertised as accommodating only 2 adults ... but, by special request, there was no problem -- at reasonable added expense -- to add a 3rd very comfy adult-appropriate bed (not cot!) to our quite large & well-equipped room]

Exceptional Staff Made Our Stay Unforgettable During our recent stay at the Ginger House Museum Hotel, we were blown away by the exceptional service provided by the staff. The hotel manager George was incredibly efficient and welcoming, and we were provided with all necessary information on a daily basis. What stood out most was the attentiveness of the staff throughout our stay, especially the wonderful Martin! It's an unusual hotel in that it's designed around an adjoining antiques business, and there are wonderfully old antiques everywhere. Our room was impeccably maintained and it was obvious the staff took pride/care in their work. Little gestures like a mid-stay fruit basket were noticed and appreciated. Eating at the hotel's restaurant was another highlight, mainly due to the superb service. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. Breakfast was almost overabundant! In every interaction, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and they consistently did it with warmth and kindness. It’s apparent that they genuinely care about their guests' experiences and strive to make each one exceptional. The team at Ginger House turned what could have been just another hotel stay into a standout experience through their dedication to service excellence. We will undoubtedly choose this hotel again during our next visit, and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Highly recommended! I feel so lucky and greatful that I chose to stay here. I wanted to have the experience of a real heritage place and couldn't have picked a better one. The rooms and the architecture are unique and the whole place is decorated with antiques of exceptional beauty. It feels like a time capsule, like I was hosted at the house of the Maharaja. I really enjoyed the lake view and the restaurant. The breakfast had a variety of tasty Kerala food. My favourite part was the people. Everyone, from the owner and his family, to the concierge and the waiters was so friendly and helpful. They helped me find something I needed with pure pleasure and willingness in no time and took all the stress away while I was relaxing. I overheard the owner talking to the staff, saying "whenever you can be of service, it's good to help". This is the genuine attitude I experienced and the main reason I am looking forward to coming back!

A Charming and Memorable Stay at Ginger House Museum Hotel My stay at Ginger House Museum Hotel in Kochi was a superb experience from start to finish. I had a beautiful room with a stunning view of the sea and backwaters, peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable. The restaurant, set against the same breathtaking backdrop, made every breakfast feel like a retreat in nature. The atmosphere was calm and pastoral, perfect for starting the day. The staff were exceptionally polite and warm. Martin, the hotel manager, always greeted me with a cheerful, welcoming smile, and the owner (whose name I regret forgetting) checked in on me daily, making sure I was comfortable and even keeping me company with genuine care. A special highlight was the antique shop inside the hotel, a true treasure trove filled with magnificent pieces, each with its own story. Wandering through it felt like stepping into a museum of art, culture, and history. It was a special stay in a unique place, full of charm and heartfelt hospitality.

From our very first contact, George was an exceptional host. He was responsive and helpful. He organised great trips, all at good prices. The hotel is extraordinary, owned by an antiques dealer, with every room unique. His massive showrooms are attached to the hotel, so, if that is your thing, you will be in heaven. We had three rooms and each were special. While full of antiques, there was still modern features like Japanese style electric toilet seats. The food was lovely and, unlike many places in the area, you could grab a cold beer. We loved our stay and will definitely return.
